No Kingsbury for OSU?

In addition to hiring new offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen, it appeared Houston quality control assistant Kliff Kingsbury would join Holgorsen as new members of the Oklahoma State coaching staff in 2010.

According to the Houston Chronicle’s Steve Campbell, Kingsbury has been hired full-time on the Houston staff. Houston coach Kevin Sumlin has been busy filling holes on his staff since the season ended and Kingbury has been elevated from his quality control position.

The Cowboys don’t have a open spot on their coaching staff and if Kingsbury would have been added to the staff, without any staff changes, he would have likely had to accept a graduate assistant spot. With a full time gig at Houston, it now appears unlikely Kingsbury will be coming along with Holgorsen.

Kingsbury has been a key contributor to the development of Houston’s standout quarterback Case Keenum. He also played quarterback under Mike Leach at Texas Tech.
